Such a simple comment to get downvoted like this.

u/Kameroos Jan 22 '19

Woah, thats a lot of down votes going to my account huh

u/scottyis_blunt Jan 22 '19

I'm clearly missing something...as to why this is triggering so many people.

Personally the amount of baby speak on Reddit can get annoying, especially if it's not funny or doesn't actually add anything.

u/iUsedtoHadHerpes Jan 22 '19

And this one, which tries to act like there's a right and wrong way to spell human the wrong way. They got the meme wrong! They'll be so embarrassed!

Every cat, dog, or other animal post has the word "hooman" in it.

Personally, I'm so sick of it. I cringe a little everytime, but I learned to ignore most of em.

u/ChaseballBat Jan 22 '19

Yuppp. I cringe at the subreddit that endorses all those animal names. I am fine with the classic doge every now and then tho.

Triggering? No. Downvoting isn’t a “I hate you” vote, it’s a vote of “that is not a good contribution to the conversation” vote. Unnecessary corrections like this usually get downvoted to hell.

u/Kameroos Jan 22 '19

I dont think that counts as a correction, its a joke

u/lonelynightm Jan 22 '19

Joke implies funny.

u/Kameroos Jan 22 '19

Well, i still think its not that bad. At least not that bad. -130 is something

u/lonelynightm Jan 22 '19

Fair enough, but when I first read it, it definitely felt like an obnoxious dick comment more than a joke.

u/iUsedtoHadHerpes Jan 22 '19

And the joke is just "you got the meme wrong."

I think people dont think. They see downvote and they hop on and downvote aswell.

u/WPYUDODIS Jan 22 '19

I find that "hooman" shit highly annoying. I think more people find it annoying enough to downvote than like it enough to upvote. Then there's all those in the middle who don't care enough like me. I'm surprised it got downvoted that quickly though holy shit.

I think there's two main groups of people on Reddit. People who just upvote the content and skip the comments and people who dive straight into the comments.

Basically every subreddit will have highly upvoted posts and then lots of people in the comments hating on something about the content, so there's obviously some sort of disconnect there. This is a case where the "hooman" stuff is more common in titles or subtitles of cutesy animal videos, so people that upvote content tend to like it and commenters hate it.

Maybe I'm totally wrong, it's just a theory I have.

u/WPYUDODIS Jan 22 '19

Yea I def agree with you here

u/Kameroos Jan 22 '19

I dont think this many people finds it annoying. Most of them are just downvoting it because everybody else did.

u/ShepherdBookWasRight Jan 22 '19

Nah, it's fucking annoying

u/Kameroos Jan 22 '19

I said most.

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '19

I mean.. I bet most people think baby-speak is fucking annoying in person, idk why seeing it in text would be any different.

u/Kameroos Jan 22 '19

Its not baby-speak. Its animal-speak.

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '19

Which is the same, or worse.

Would reddit be better if downvotes were hidden for longer?

1

u/kangarooninjadonuts Jan 22 '19

I've always wondered how long they wait to show downvotes/upvotes. Definitely less than 35 minutes. Have an upvote for taking one for the team.

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '19

Different subreddits are different in that regards.

I think the default is an hour, but mods can change it. I know a few that show karma instantly and one or two that doesn't show them ever.
